Abstract

Antibody-mediated rejection is a major cause of graft failure, mortality, and morbidity among cardiac transplant recipients. We present the first reported case of TandemHeart (LivaNova, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) used in the management of antibody-mediated rejection associated with cardiogenic shock. ().
